Ingredients

Scale

Eggs

  • 2 eggs

Sauce

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon honey or sugar
  • ½ teaspoon chili flakes or 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced

For Frying and Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1 tablespoon green onions, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  1. Make the sauce: In a small pan, combine soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or sugar), minced garlic, and chili flakes or chili oil. Warm the mixture gently over low heat, stirring occasionally until it slightly thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and keep warm.
  2. Fry the eggs: Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully crack the eggs into the skillet and fry them until the egg whites are crispy and fully set, but the yolks remain runny, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  3. Plate and drizzle: Transfer the fried eggs to a serving plate. Spoon the warm sweet and sour sauce generously over the eggs, ensuring each egg is coated with the flavorful sauce.
  4. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds over the sauced eggs for added freshness and texture. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of chili flakes or chili oil to control the spice level according to your preference.
  • For a thicker sauce, simmer it a bit longer to reduce further but be careful not to burn the garlic.
  • Use fresh green onions and toast sesame seeds lightly before garnishing for enhanced flavor.
  • This dish pairs well with steamed rice or toasted bread to balance the bold flavors.
